Bug Description

It would be great if I could detach a session/tab into its own windows, or move a session/tab between windows. This makes it easy to use windows to group similar tasks together and move an individual session out into it's own window group as necessary when tasks change.

I would also like to see this implemented. There is a workaround (see below), but there could be a more user-friendly way to do it.

The workaround:
- Press "Ctrl + Shift + i" to open a new window. You need to open it like this, the workaround doesn't work if you start a new terminator process.
- Then you can move terminal panes from one window to another using drag & drop so you can move the pane you want to detach to the new window.
- Now you have two panes in the new window - one started with the window and one you moved there. Just close the original pane and you have only the pane you originally wanted to detach to a new window.
